Synopsis/Introduction: Paano kung isang araw, paggising mo, wala na ang taong pinakamamamahal mo? Oo, alam ko. Masakit, at mas gugustuhin mo pang mawala nalang din kaysa mabuhay nang hindi siya kasama. Pero, paano kung mayroong paraan? Paano kung may paraan para baguhin ang nakatadhana? Handa ka bang harapin at isugal ang buhay mo para sa buhay ng taong pinakamamahal mo? Ito ay isang kwento na ang simula ay tungkol kay Jin na nakatanggap ng isang balita na namatay na ang pinakaimportanteng tao sa kanyang buhay — si Chris. Namatay si Chris noong March 21, 2021. At simula noong araw na iyon, wala nang ibang ninais si Jin kundi ang makabalik sa oras at panahon upang mailigtas niya si Chris mula sa hindi nito inaasahang pagkasawi. Gamit ang isang time machine, isang proyekto ng company na siyang pinagtatrabahuhan ni Jin, naniniwala siya na sa wakas, may sagot na sa kanyang mission na mailigtas si Chris sa pangalawang pagkakataon. 6 years ang itinagal bago natapos ang time machine. Tumanda na rin ang itsura ni Jin. Ngayon, 27 years old na siya. Sa araw na ito, naka-set na ang lahat at handa na siyang bumalik muli sa March 21, 2021 upang iligtas si Chris, at makabalik sa kasalukuyang buhay niya kapiling ang buhay na Chris. Nagsimula na ang pagpapaandar sa time machine. Ngunit, sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, nabago ang pagkakaset ng oras nito. Imbis na mapunta si Jin sa tamang panahon at oras, ay napunta siya sa maling timeline. Dinala siya ng kanyang time machine sa March 21, 2020, isang taon bago nangyari ang insidente. Dahil maling oras ang kanyang napuntahan, nais niyang i-set ulit ang time machine sa March 21, 2021, ngunit may isang malaking problema at ito ang hindi napaghandaan ni Jin. Hindi siya makakaalis dahil wala pa ang time machine sa panahon na ito. Ang buong akala ni Jin ay kasama niya ang time machine kahit saan mang oras niya nais pumunta. Makakaalis lamang siya sa oras na mabuo muli ang time machine. Napagpasyahan niya na lamang na manatili at maghintay, hanggang sa dumating ang oras na kanyang ikinatatakot. Naisip niya, dahil mas matanda na siya kay Chris sa mga panahong ito, hindi siya pwedeng makilala nito o ng kahit sino pa man. Kung magkataon, may malaking epekto ito sa kasalukuyan. Maaari ring may mangyaring hindi maganda sa kanya, at tuluyan na siyang hindi na makabalik sa tunay niyang oras. At dahil mananatili siya sa taong 2020, hindi maiiwasang magtagpo silang dalawa ng batang Jin sa taong 2020. Aaminin niya sa batang Jin na siya ito mula sa hinaharap upang tulungan siya, ngunit hindi niya rin maaaring sabihin ang lahat ng mangyayari upang protektahan ang kanyang sarili.

Sa isang taon na kanyang ilalagi, marami siyang bagay na matutuklasan sa pagkamatay ni Chris na hindi niya inaasahan.

A STORY ABOUT TWO TWINS BORN IN A SIMPLE COMMON FAMILY. IN A WORLD WHERE MAGIC IS EVERYTHING, THEY AIM TO JOIN THE ELITE KNIGHTS ONE DAY. BUT THINGS ARE NOT AS EASY AS THEY WOULD LIKE.

Once dreaming of knighthood, his life is shattered when assassins murder his family, abduct his sister, and leave him for dead, his family name tarnished with heresy. Amidst the ashes of his former life, he vows vengeance, a vow that echoes through the realm, awakening a dark destiny. Bestowed the forbidden powers of a Necromancer, he embarks on a perilous journey across lands rife with monsters and ancient evils, becoming embroiled in wars that test his resolve. As he masters the necromantic arts, he faces the moral quandaries of his new powers, taking lives both innocent and guilty in his quest. Along his path, he encounters allies, mentors, and even deities, but his resolve remains unshaken. No force, mortal or divine, will deter him from his vengeful path.

In his first life, Kael was a teacher who sacrificed his body to save a student. In his second, a soldier who forced to defend forgotten border. Reborn into a war-torn fantasy realm with no divine favor or overpowered gifts, he survives fifteen brutal years to earn knighthood, only to be granted a sun-blasted wasteland in the empire’s most treacherous frontier. At 28, hardened by lifetimes of loss and tempered by battle, an unexpected power awakens: a Territory System that rewards sweat, not luck. But cracked earth won’t yield crops. Empty coffers won’t deter bandits. Honor means nothing to nobles scheming to reclaim his “worthless” land. Yet Kael knows truths sharper than any blade: - True strength is forged in blood and blisters, not magic. - Loyalty is earned by sharing hunger, not gold. - Hope flickers brightest in the eyes of Elara, a sharp-tongued healer whose herbs and quiet defiance stitch his wounds and his resolve. With drought-stricken villagers depending on him and enemies circling, Kael must rebuild a home from dust and desperation. No divine intervention. No shortcuts exist. But a man who’s cheated death knows how to fight not for glory or vengeance, but for the first future worth living.

Having escaped his mysterious past, Atlas returned to society. Sadly, the reality glorified in stories told by the survivors and by books, was actually monotonous and underwhelming.

He would have preferred if he had been born in a different world. One that was more exciting, one that was less limiting, and one that could give a sense of amazement. |Welcome to your next life, Host| "And you are?" |An entity that can help you transcend reality| Through the System, he became able to explore many worlds. Worlds of royalty and history, worlds filled with magic, and even worlds that could make one feel existential dread. He would fight against daunting opponents, gain incredible abilities, start his own nation, and ascend to godhood. ------------------- I am unable to promise a stable release schedule as the story is highly based on my motivation, I do not plan to become a full-fledged writer, and college will consume the majority of my free time.
